iMninuiMiiwiumiiHwiiiiimiiimwi! HRMHWMHI L Emerald Editor Tribute Kiiicnihl Editor: It in indeed a disheartening event tlial has just occurred to us within the past few hours in the death of I)r. Martin I,other King, Jr., yet it becomes per tinent that we ask ourselves the question, "Why?" Wliy deprive us of not only a leader, but a true citizen, brother, friend, father, husband and last of all a human being? Though these questions shall probe and trouble our minds, we must not let reason give way to unreason, love to haired, and humanity to inhumanity, lest the banners we now hail have been buried along with their leader, for in the end, death is an inevitable and un avoidable step. The emotional attachment all of us had with the late Dr. Martin Luther King. Jr. is quite evident in what has been wit nessed around the world as soon as the news of hi* brutal departure hit the wire services This incident is really a grave deprivation for although the architects of such a savage act will pride in Dr Martin Luther King's absence. I would say that we. the African Students in Eu gene, feel and believe that though l)r Martin Luther King be dead, he still lives and shall ever he a living memory and example for the light of equality to mankind, no matter the color or creed This situation abuost makes it pertinent for a historical anal ogy to be here cited in the death of a leader as Dr Martin Luther King, Jr. and the very sacrifice of Cod's only son, the Lord Jesus. Through Christ, t h e world received light, love, re demption and reconciliation that Cod required of us but could we here be proud to ask such about the death of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr? We, of the African Students’ Association, do extend our great est sympathies and regrets to this sort of bereavement as we hope and pray not for miracles hut positive arlion through this memorable son who has left us May his soul rest in peace while that spirit and /cal which he has left keeps purging us for times immemorable in the light to liberate the deprived around the world. Andrew I,. I.. Dkongho African Students' Association Lyndon the Sfneenp Kmcrald Editor: Hie President, according to an Kmcrald editorial last Tups day, is a 'political animal,” who refused to run again for President because he has "rec ognized that the tide was run ning out," and “so now ho has acted in time and in such a manner as to protect his own neck." Sucli an analysis reflects a very narrow and presumptive LOSING YOUR HAIR? Don't wait till it's too late -FREE CONSULTATION - ADAM'S BARBER PARLOR 561 E. 13th 344-1714 attitude without any attempt to prove what was said or pro vide an accurate account of why the President acted as he did. First of all. the editorialist never considered the possibility that the President's decision rested primarily on the reasons he explained in his speech. Per haps he withdrew because he actually felt it would further the cause of peace in Vietnam, and perhaps he aetually felt his duties left no room for political maneuvering. I think it is possible that this "political animal" was a sincere individual that night I wish the editorialist would have at least considered that pos sibility. A second idea is that if the President's sacrifice was purely a political move, il was a bril liant one, at least in regards to peace in Vietnam, for it toss id the responsibility for peace into the Hanoi camp, and they have had to grapple with it. This pressure is evident -in Hanoi's recent statement ex pressing a willingness to pre pare for full scale negotiations. It took the sacrifice of the presidency for Johnson to achieve these long awaited peace moves, and he realized that. The editorialist apparently could not boar to give the President any credit for tlial achieve ment. and that is unjust. It is important to examine all aspect* of a man's decision before we unconditionally con demn him The President is cer tainly a political figure, but he is also a deeply concerned man, and he is our President, burden ed with its responsibilities His decision to withdraw from the candidacy reflects not merely his political concerns, but also, perhaps mostly, his responsibili ties as a man and as our Presi dent working in the host inter ests of our country. .Mike McFetrldge Freshman, Psychology Musi Move Ahead Fmerald Fditor: The recent attention to the problems of the campus has been missing a couple of what 1 feel to be very important areas. First there is the c|ues tion of Hie issues being consid ered. while I agree that reform in the curriculum is imperative and should receive a great deal of attention I also feel that a number of other issues need One of these areas is the question of political pow'r for the students liigld now the stir dent is given only minimal pow er in the sense of making mean ingful decisions about the com munity and environment in which he gets an education I would like to see instead a sys tem whereby he is an integral part of the decision making pro cess. In the area of conduct this means a campus wide code for both students and faculty, writ ten by a group more represen tal, perhaps a proportional com mittee appointed by the ASUO president and the University president in which students would have as much represen tation as their numbers warrant. In fiscal affairs this concept means a delegation of the stu dents incidental fees money to the elected representatives of the student, the ASUO Senate. In the future the funds would be those of the ASUO and the Authorized Triple "A" Service 24 HOUR TOWING AND ROAD SERVICE Phone 746-5721 1720 SOUTH A STREET SPRINGFIELD, OREGON Janecek Motors function of the Senate would be lo upend them instead of mak ing recommendation*. In the off campus area there are a number ' of important issues such as the possibility of a Co op grocery, which existed in 1947 to save students money. The concept of University owned apartments to help bring the cost of rent down has been tried on other campuses, why not here? The ASUO could act to tabu late lists and ratings of apart menls on the basis of the type of service they provide anil for how much. A second area is the use being made of possible sources of support for various Univer sity projects by the Eugene Community. The University is a part of the larger community and much use can be made of their resources. Specifically we could work to gain financial support for capital construction projects such as was done with Autzcn Stadium, either directly or through use of the state's pow er to sell bonds. Much greater attention needs to be paid to the channels of communication between the University stu dent, his government and the city and county government units. Many city and county as well as state imlieies directly effect the quality of his education These are areas which have been neglected for such too long Something concrete needs to lie done. The time to resist our interest to the horizon of the campus is iong past. We must move the University ahead and into the society it is a part of or activities ol the campus will become irrelevant. The duly lies not only with the ASUO but with each of us.
